I'll take a libertarian over a Missouri good ol' boy classic conservative any day. And vs Trumptards, there is no contest. Forget about Rand. People forget his dad was often more vocal against the Republicans than the Democrats (at least on certain issues).
Rather than having our classic Democrats and Republicans (who really both serve Wall Street), I think our congress would be better divided Libertarians vs Socialists. If these latter two parties could meet each other half way, we'd have a better functioning congress.
I'd love that. I think both socialism and libertarianism can produce functional governments. While I personally prefer libertarianism, socialist governments can work quite well from my experience. Right now I'm living in Denmark, and here they are very socialist (even moreso than Canada, where I'm from), but it works for them, so I don't think it's a valueless ideology. I just prefer more independence, individual accountability and the free market myself, because I think it's more efficient.
